i'm on a family vacation in florida.
my cousin's wedding was on saturday, that's why we came here.
it's pretty nice. we're staying in some condos in Sebastian, on the east coast.
yesterday we went to a beach in Port St. Lucie, where my cousins live.
BATHTUB BEACH! the water there was shallow, in front of a reef.
i went snorkeling, and it was really awesome. it's so surreal.
everything looks bigger under the water.
it all kind of sways around with the movement of the water.
i saw a bunch of cool looking fishies. :)
i found a mini-habitat in a shell. underwater, it looked incredible.
like it's own little world, smaller than the palm of my hand.
i brought it up out of the water for a second and it looked really lame.
so i stayed underwater most of the time.
i felt like i was in the life aquatic.
today i'm going to the other coast, the west coast.
my super good friend, jamie, moved here about a year ago (?)
so i am way excited to see her. she lives in Terra Ceia, right by the gulf
Terra Ceia is pretty close to Tampa, so I hope we go there.
i'm excited to see where she lives. and the beaches on that side are different!
i will compare them! =D aha

it's rainy season here in florida. it rains every day around 4:00
but then it gets sunny again!

so, i'm having a good time. florida is a beautiful state.
but, i do miss milwaukee, wisconsin.

oh! and my cousins are going to give me one of their birds!
it's a blue quaker parrot. they breed these birds.
this one is only 3 months old right now. it's a girl, and she is gorgeous!
the blue and turquoise colors are so pretty and she is a sweetheart.
this isn't her, but this is what she looks like, except prettier :) hah
